Reading other reviews, comments, and listening to podcasts, a packed and energetic theater full of people making the movie more enjoyable is something that pops up every now and then. Does anyone else enjoy watching a movie at a theater with a bigger crowd?
Usually, I try to make it to an early showing, so I can avoid the crowds and the lines. I go back and forth between a big multiplex with 24 screens, and a smaller movie theater with 13 screens, and maybe I'm sliding into that get off my lawn stage, but I always have a more enjoyable experience, when the theater is nearly empty.
I remember reading a review for the original V/H/S, and the guy that wrote it said he had a good time, because his theater was full of screams, and people fidgeting around during the jump scares. Watching a movie with a more excited crowd can be fun sometimes, but you'll always have the group of numskulls, who feel the need to excessively laugh, clap, scream, and loudly overreact to what's happening in the movie.
